Default dip stick to short?

I have a 71 455 block w/ windege tray and a morroso 8qt pan have the lower tube installed throug w tray and the lower upper tube 9" non a/c type I have a 17.5" non a/c dip stick(193/4" w/ handel) I bought from py. with 8 qt oil in pan oil hardly touches the end of the dip stick. has anyone else run into this? do I need a aftermarket generic longer dip stick? Any other solutions?
